On Friday, police released images of the suspected gunman wearing a blue Dodgers jacket, a light blue jersey with the number five, and blue jeans and asked the public for help identifying him.
Law enforcement said the suspected gunman is “facing serious felony charges with the shooting” of Fernando Ramirez.
Villalobos’ case is expected to be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing in the coming days.
The Post has reached out to the LAPD for comment.
Villalobos allegedly shot Ramirez, 29, moments after he allegedly drove his car into a large crowd gathered outside of the Vermont Hollywood on July 19.
Ramirez had been kicked out of the nightclub for being disruptive and returned to the scene in his car, driving into the crowd.
Seven of the victims were in critical condition after the incident.
Following the crash, video shows bystanders pulling Ramirez from his Nissan Versa — then punching and kicking him, further escalating the situation.
Moments later, a man came from across the street and shot the suspect and fled the scene.
Ramirez was taken to a local hospital in stable condition and treated for a gunshot wound to his buttocks.
He has since been released and is facing 74 criminal charges, including 37 counts of attempted murder in the incident, CBS News reported.
Ramirez has remained behind bars since his arrest and is being held on a $37 million bail.
